Former Auto Worker Sues UAW For Sexual Harrasment After She Ends Releationship With UAW Official's Son

A Chrysler autoworker claims she was fired because she broke off a relationship with the son of a United Auto Workers official, according to a lawsuit filed today in federal court.

The lawsuit, filed by Janet Burney, a member of UAW Local 51 at Chrysler's Mack Avenue plant, accuses the UAW of sexual harassment, gender discrimination and retaliation. She is seeking an unspecified judgment for lost wages, benefits and emotional damages, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit.

It's funny how quickly people have forgotten the Brian Papke story and how the UAW by BEHAVING eXaCtLy like a Mafia cost the lives of 6 people when they told Papke to stop talking about how dangerous the Ford Rouge factory was, actually in Mafia like style they '' took him for a ride ''
and tried to have him drugged.

The UAW has been caught red handed several times in CLEAR gangsterism situations going back to the 30's

I was part of a union for 7 years and I can tell you one thing, Unions that work and are respected are often those who actually research and commit to the most responsible and qualified people to lead them, the way FLOC and other unions have been doing for years.

The citizens of Detroit should run the UAW out of town and all the way to North Korea.
